Hi Rach,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :-)

The best I can offer is to go to Format/Bar Styles.../ select Summary and
give it a type, pattern and colour. You might have to increase the size of
the weekly rows to reveal them - move the cursor to the dividing line
between the weeks until you get an Up/Down arrow, then click and drag
downwards.

FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at
this web address: <http://www.mvps.org/project/>

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on :-))
